People always ignore me when I suggest this, but that doesn't mean it isn't really tasty: Marmite with mashed potato and finely chopped onion in a toasted sandwich. It's really really good, honestly!

Minus the onions (I can't handle raw onion, but I bet they'd be good fried!), that sounds really delicious. I love a good mash sammich.

forkers still aren't here. Even if they turn up within the next 5 minutes, I'll still be here until 6. If I end up being stuck here for an entire working day (7 hours), I'm claiming that shiitake back. It's bad enough that I had to come in on a Saturday, but this will eat up my Saturday evening. Even if I had sat here doing absolutely nothing (which I haven't - I got so bored I did some work), I should still get my time back.

I'm not trying to punish myself. It's more trying to make myself eat the meal instead of being a whiny baby about not liking something. I ate half my lime burrito and ended up not starving. I ate a piece of toast later.

I've also just started Weight Watchers again so I'm also trying to rest my hunger gauge and not just eat when I think I'm hungry instead of when Im hungry. So I am tracking to make sure I'm eating properly.

I like making Marmite and sweet potato stew.

The ex-landlords called this morning to do the final walk through. Vyapti went and I am glad, I would have been furious.

They wanted to do the final walk through after they had done some work, so not exactly our final. They tore up the carpet and tried to charge us for it. They are trying to charge us for the mold on the ceiling of the room they would not ventilate. And so on. Vyapti reminded them that we are filing complaints for the illegal rent change and hopefully that will get them to back off.

Cutest story! Friends of ours have a 3 year old. Her parents are really rad so she's such a joyous, talkative, creative, imaginative little girl. We ran into them in the park last week, and Iris said she wants to come to our house, and bring her pet fish for a play date, and she wants me to make her a gingerbread house, and she'll bring the tea.

We ran into them at the farmer's market today (she was chowing down on CURRY! What an adorable child) and her parents said that she's been talking about us all week. Apparently she told them we are her kid's cousins and we live in a silver house in NYC.

Today she asked her parents and us if she can come over to our for gingerbread men, and can we please give her hot chocolate, "or maybe just hot cocoa is okay, too". She still wants to bring her pet fish to play with the cats, but I hope we can talk her out of that.

SO CUTE!

Now I know why I keep making the same few things over and over again. I am afraid of food failure. There - I said it. And DC. I agree - how does anyone USUALLY make quinoa? Is it supposed to taste like grainy torn up cinderblocks or what?

Gulliver, for some reason your new icon is really throwing me off! I keep thinking you're someone new to the boards.

It's windy and grey outside and I'mma get cooking so I can stock the freezer.

I like a schmear of Marmite scraped thinly over EB-buttered toast with thin slices of avocado over top. This used to be my favorite toasty thing but then I started to enjoy Chloe's avocado toast and my marmite jar is collecting dust.

FML. I don't know how I do it but I ended up with a neighbour calling around this evening for a cup of tea. I barely know her. She turned up and my house was a complete and utter disaster zone. She is just desperate to be out of home though. Her husband is an utter crasshole and is abusive towards her.

I'm cold and melancholy... and I keep looking at FB and seeing a picture of a friend of mine having fun with a friend of his and it's making me sad because this friend of mine never initiates spending time with me. If I never initiated I think we'd never speak again. So it makes me jealous when I see him posting on FB of all the fun he has with all sorts of people. Dumb to feel jealous over a friend like this, but there we have it. Actually I think I problem with jealousy surrounding friends. I feel this way so often when I hear about friends having fun without me.
